About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Abdominal Circumference and Cardiorespiratory Repercussions in Hospitalized Patients Submitted to Physical Therapy

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the hospitalized patients with increased waist circumference exhibit cardiorespiratory alterations after chest physical therapy.

Read the detailed description

The physiotherapist assessment will consist of anthropometry (body mass index, abdominal circumference, adipometer); chest inspection and palpation, vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory frequence, oxymetry), dyspnea index and capillar blood glucose; and later with pulmonary tests (thoracoabdominal perimetry, respiratory muscle strength and pulmonary volume and capacity). This will be a quasi-experimental study. Patients will be divided into four groups according to waist circumference (increased or not, with respect to cardiovascular risk) and respiratory disorders (obstructive and restrictive). After this assessment, chest physical therapy will begin according to the protocol for obstructive and restrictive respiratory disorders. The treatment will have an average duration of 30 minutes. At the end of treatment (single session) the patient will be assessed again after five and thirty minutes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Chest physiotherapy chest wall expansionOther

    Also called Chest physiotherapy

    chest physiotherapy The protocol consisted of breathing exercises during 30 minutes: passive and localized exercises, deep diaphragmatic breathing and exercises of chest wall expansion (decompression, Incentive Spirometry).

  • Chest physiotherapy airway clearance modalityOther

    Also called Chest physical therapy

    The protocol will be consisted the breathing exercises during 30 minutes: passive and localized exercises, deep diaphragmatic breathing and exercises on the chest (vibration, compression) and active cough.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline in spirometric measures.

    The spirometry is used to assess chest volume and capacity of individual patients respiratory disease and their response to therapy and is regarded as the gold standard measure of respiratory function. The following variables were recorded; forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume achieved in 1 second.

    Measured: Baseline, five and thirty minutes.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison of pulse oxymetry before/after chest physiotherapy. Comparison of blood pressure before/after chest physiotherapy.

    The pulse oxymetry or pulse oximeter is used to measure peripheral oxygen saturation.

    The arterial blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) will be measured by sphygmomanometer to follow the displacement.

    Measured: Baseline, five and thirty minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Chest physiotherapy chest wall expansion and Chest physiotherapy airway clearance modality in people with Obesity, Abdominal and Lung Disease, run by Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in spirometric measures. (time frame: Baseline, five and thirty minutes.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Dec 2015.
